Natural Attractions

While Hewlett Neck is Number Two among the richest in Nassau County, it is south of the the other three that are clustered closely together some 15 miles north on I-495. Plandome, Plandome Manor, and Munsey Park are also just east across Manhasset Bay from Great Neck.

Hewlett Neck's location is approximately four miles north of a long system of recreational and natural beaches visited by many vacationers, but also several scenic wildlife refuges and parks. Leed's Pond and a group of American Bald Eagles are attractions for the three northern communities, but the beaches and the related widlife are as big a draw just minutes to the south.

Many place names in Nausau County contain the term neck, which indicates a narrow section of land offshooting from a wider section. Examples are Hewlett's Neck and Great Neck.
